How to achieve this ultimate goal of a healthy lifestyle? While the idea of making certain tweaks seems simple, you’re already aware it takes more than that. Our greatest obstacle is the lack of health-related information and inaccuracy of a great deal of content we find online.

That’s why conventions seem like a great idea and in 2018 you can be a part of Body Hacking Con 2018 – #BDYHAX. What is Body Hacking Con and why does it matter? Scroll down to find out.

What Is Body Hacking?

When it comes to health there is no one size fits all rulebook. Every individual is different and our needs differ greatly. That’s why we take a different approach toward health and well-being. Body hacking is similar, it doesn’t have one specific definition and it can mean a different thing to different people.

For instance, body hacking can refer to a practice of including technological devices into a person’s body to serve a specific purpose. The goal of these devices would be to help a user improve* his or her life. The implantable technology was pioneered by Amal Graafstra who used his own body to experiment with these devices.

He is well-known in body hacking community as a person who designed bio-safe magnets and the microchip holding encrypted information and unique ID numbers that can be used to open doors or unlock a smartphone.

Although some people would assume body hacking[1] is just a process that turns people into cyborgs, that is far from the truth. Devices implanted in a person’s body could benefit their health at the same time. It all comes down to a person’s needs and preferences.

Body hackers are individuals who recognize that technology has evolved immensely in last few decades and it got to the point where it can improve* our health , not just fix problems. If you think about that fact, it makes perfect sense. We are inclined to fix health problems and use different treatments and therapies to get better, but the most important thing is to improve* our health and prevent those diseases and conditions from developing in the first place.

Body hacking doesn’t have to involve the use of cognitive enhancers or biometric tracking devices. Everything that a person does in order to improve* their lifestyle can be considered as a type of body hacking. This leads us back to the beginning of the article which says that one’s approach to well-being is different than someone else’s. Tattoos, piercings, hair dyes , bodybuilding, cosmetic surgery , meditation , prosthetic limbs, and many other practices and technologies belong to the body hacking universe.

Essentially, body hacking is a catch-all phrase that covers everything a person does to alter his/her body and improve* it. Now, your definition of improvement of your health and body appearance is different than your friends, for example.

As mentioned above, body hacking involves the use of different methods and devices to improve* your body, health, and lifestyle. The most common body hacking methods [2] include:

Aesthetic body modification – We decide to dye our hair or get a tattoo or piercing not only because we like those things, but because they make us feel better and more confident. Everything you do to improve* your appearance is a type of body hacking

Brain training and nootropics – Our cognitive skills fluctuate as they’re influenced by a number of different factors. Brain training and nootropics lead to sharp memory , improved* concentration, and they also boost* problem-solving skills and many other aspects of cognitive functioning

Health, fitness, and nutrition – Everything you do on a daily basis to improve* your health and lifestyle can be considered as a body hacking method. Great examples include specific types of training (bodybuilding, cardio, HIIT etc.), making diet tweaks or following some specific diet plan, yoga , you name it

Wearable tech – This category includes everything that is worn or implanted with the purpose to enhance* your ability to track or measure your own data in order to achieve better health, improve* your workouts, personal growth, or improve* the ability to sense the world around you for other reasons. These can include chips, hearing aids, smart-watches, fitness bands, among others
